As others have said, the bigger problem is how much it's being pushed. It's true statistically that there are still barely any Trans people in the US, however, that is likely to change. Next time you get to talk to a niece, nephew, etc. that is in Middle/High School, ask them how many of their colleagues identify as LGBT.

Of course this could be entirely anecdotal but in my experience asking this, the number of their classmates who they say identify as such is exponentially higher than my own experience in High School which was relatively recent.

The issue is that it's deemed lgbt instead of trans/queer. Queer, as we know, is the current year equivalent to the 00's bisexual trend and means nothing. Trans is social contagion.

Gays and lesbians stay more or less the same.
